Manhattanville EDD Dissertation Requirements

All;

Although this is a B&M program only, I am including it for its unusual (for the US) doctoral degree options:

On June 22, 2010, the Board of Regents of the State of New York approved an amendment to our master plan to authorize Manhattanville College to offer its first program at the doctoral level, an Ed.D. in educational leadership. The purpose of the doctoral program is to meet the needs of mid-career professionals who already have leadership experience in public or private schools, in community programs, in governmental agencies, or in NGOs with major education initiatives. This program builds on Manhattanville’s educational leadership master’s and Professional Diploma certification programs for building level and/or district-level leadership. Accepted students will have both early career leadership experience and the initial licensure/certification/program requirements for their chosen career path as leaders in education. Students complete a three-year program of study that tightly integrates coursework, field experiences, and applied research (59 semester hours of post-master’s credit including dissertation). The focus is on preparing leaders to work in changing suburbs and small cities, and the signature pedagogy is problem-based learning. The doctoral program experiences are organized around five themes: leading learning organizations, becoming a sophisticated practitioner-scholar, developing self and others, participating in professional and policy-making communities, and facilitating responsive education programs. The program offers the option to do a three-article dissertation or a traditional five-chapter dissertation.

I have only seen this option in overseas universities that follow the English model.
PS this website also has a decent dissertation checklist, if you are at that stage.

 

Colorado Technical University offers similar model. In their Doctorate programs, students have options to do a dissertation or several publishing papers.rivateeye:

 

That sounds like a cool option. There is so much noise that online PhDs have a lower quality standard and this will remove that rumor.
